I'm going to go buy an entire Legion's worth of Iron Armor from Forgeworld and wash the mold release off in a nearby stream.

The following of my awesome ideas were shot down for this year:
-Njarl with 21 runepriests with jaws (because it was illegal)
-Chaos "Archfiend" emperor titan (because only nick's titan is good enough)
-10 doomsday devices (out of pleas from derek)
My poor ego :'(

best daemon prince model ever! And its gw so I can get it at the store, and its 100% legal for events 8)
-
You don't like the plastic Demon Prince kit better? That's one of my favorites.
-

Uhh... you might wanna check that.
Our events, yes. We don't have the GW percentage conversion rating. But "official" events...

Fix,repaint, repeat. Fix,repaint, repeat. Fix,repaint, repeat. Should be ready in time. ::)

-

Is it 4000pts?
... SHALOOB? WHAT?
-
It is a gw model therefore accurate of a daemon and more than 50% gamesworkshop pieces (100% > 50%)

It's also a Lord of the Rings model.

I don't believe GW ever made the distinction.

Hm. It appears the restriction is for Golden Demon and maybe White Dwarf photographs. Carry on.

WHY Y'ALL POSTING IN MY THREAD LIKE IS SOME WHORE THAT YOU CAN JUST POST ALL OVER HER...

He's playing in the next Doubles tournament too.
-
The no lord of the rings mini s in warhammer thing was mostly just for golden demon and having photos of it appear in gw publications. This was part if the deal with new line cinema because the wanted lotr kept separate from gws other products.

New Line Cinema had a thing about LotR figures not being used as part of GW's other products. GW was forced to sign lawyer like papers saying this is a big no no. You won't find anything in any GW rule book, article or internet spiel that in any way encourages folding LotR models into any other GW product.
That being said, they are solid models, fit with the games, are to scale, and I doubt very much that if we allow them any New Line Cinema lawyers are apt to find out about it. I also don't know if any legal obligations get passed down to Derek as a seller of GW products.
-
There's no reason you can't use GW stuff anywhere other than offical GW events. A guy took an all LOTR Orc army to the fantasy tournament at Gamesday and they refused to put pictures up because of New Line. We should be fine though.

Why you gotta be a troll with every regard to the megabattle?

Why you gotta be a troll with every regard to the megabattle?
I put up some relevant information. I care not a whit which way the decision goes. If no one contradicts Opforce3's comments, I have no problem at all with use of LotR parts. Neat models. I don't see this as trolling.
On other questions, I try to provide positive ways to improve the game, to give the veterans with exotic collections a chance to play without training wheels while letting people with more conventional force mixes play against people with more conventional force mixes. My next recommendation would be for the people who want to play on unlimited tables to say as much to Derek and Chase, and sufficient table space be provided that they not be disappointed. I am not out to ruin anyone's experience with the game.
It is possible to create armies that match up very well against many opponents. The all superheavy army is one. An all doomsday device army might be another. I'm somewhat dubious about the all terminator army. Any force that spends the vast majority of its points on a single style of exotic model might count as extreme. If any such army is very well put together and painted, my sense of way-cool-models will often trump my feeling that we should see more sportsmanship. An experienced player with an extreme army might somehow get himself positioned against an opponent that is also commanded by an experienced player, and who also might have a non-traditional force mix.
I can respect the veteran player bringing wild and crazy stuff to the extent he is willing to take on other veteran players bringing wild and crazy stuff.
I believe the above position can be honorably held. I have avoided emotion and personal attacks in presenting the above position.
If you have something positive to suggest that might ease such concerns, I'd be pleased to hear it.

Isn't that Deathwing? I imagine there will be enough AP 1 and AP 2 and power weapons flying around, an all Terminator army isn't extreme whatsoever. It's hard to use the word "extreme" while there's a 5 foot Titan in the room.

so... this thread was originally about how far away i am from mega battle why y'all desecrating my thread?
